Autobiography and Fanny Kelly's Dramatic Recollections
by Gilli Bush-Bailey, Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale
This unique book contains the never before published script of the first ever one-woman show, written by Fanny Kelly. The script was performed in Britain in the 1830s and 40s, based on Kelly's own experiences and offers a picture of the exuberant and often bizarre Georgian entertainment world. The performance text is introduced, edited and explained by Gilli Bush-Bailey, who focuses 21st-century revisionist scholarship on Kelly's story. It is an innovative contribution to the modern debate on biographical and autobiographical writing, whilst also being a valuable text for those who wish to study comedy and women's performance. The materials and methods of the modern stand-up routine are already to be seen in this unusual text. This book will appeal to students and scholars who are involved in performance, theatre history, or biography. It is also an accessible text for the interested general reader. ;

November 2013Der Spiegel der Medici
Roman
by Melissa Bailey, Rita Seuß
Der Architekt John Carter soll eine alte viktorianische Schuhfabrik in London in moderne Luxuswohnungen umbauen. Bei einem seiner Erkundungsgänge macht er eine überraschende Entdeckung: einen versteckten Kellerraum, in dem ein wertvoller, antiker Spiegel hängt. Neugierig geworden, versucht er mehr darüber in Erfahrung zu bringen. Doch statt Antworten zu erhalten, stößt er auf eine Vielzahl rätselhafter Geschichten, die immer mehr Fragen aufwerfen: Gehörte der Spiegel einst wirklich Katharina von Medici? Wie gelangte er nach England in den Besitz des Schuhfabrikanten? Und welche Rolle spielte er in dem mysteriösen Todesfall einer jungen Frau, der sich hier hundert Jahre zuvor ereignet hat? Während John versucht, dem Geheimnis des Spiegels auf den Grund zu gehen, beginnen sich in seinem Umfeld merkwürdige Dinge zu ereignen. Und auch Ophelia, eine gleichermaßen faszinierende wie rätselhafte Frau, in die er sich Hals über Kopf verliebt, scheint einiges vor ihm zu verbergen … »Der Spiegel der Medici« ist ein fesselnder Roman über die dunklen Mächte der Liebe, über Leidenschaft, Eifersucht und Rache und über ein jahrhundertealtes Geheimnis, das seine Schatten bis in die Gegenwart wirft.

Nature, the natural world (Children's/YA)March 2022Hello, Trees
by Bezuidenhout, Bailey / Lebedeva, Maria
This is a story about trees and how we may be very much like them. A little girl wanders through a forest and asks questions about the trees she sees. She runs her hands along their trunks... the lines in the bark are so different to her, yet somewhat familiar. Are they like wrinkles in her granny's skin? If that's the case, what do the leaves say? And the roots and the branches and the colour of their flowers? Hello, Trees investigates who we are by taking a closer look at the fascinating lives of trees. We are more than just a body and a name. We are more than just our feelings. Like trees, we are a culmination of many things. Life is a journey of imagination, of nature, and of ourselves. It sparks questions about who we are and what makes us who we are.

Veterinary medicineMay 2016Practical Veterinary Forensics
by Edited by David Bailey
General practitioner veterinarians often come into contact with the law in cases of animal cruelty, domestic animal and wildlife crimes, and human crimes with an animal element. An area of veterinary practice for which there is no formal training and few resources, this book provides practical training for an aspect of the job that many vets feel ill-equipped to deal with. Covering how to operate in a crime scene, work with emergency service personnel, collect evidence, prepare reports and provide evidence in court, it is an invaluable aid to this part of a veterinarian’s work.
